Chapter 57 I want to die

After the Xiayuan Festival, the weather in Kanto is getting colder and colder.

There is still one month left before the twelfth lunar month of winter, and light snow has begun to fall in Anshan, and the wind is biting.

At this time of year, the common people are preparing to enter the "Cat Winter" mode. After all, the food in Kanto is harvested only once a year, and it is too cold to go down to the ground. Even businessmen are afraid of the cold in Kanto, and they may be frozen. On the road, most of them will rest until February [-]nd.

In contrast, entertainment venues such as gambling houses, opium dens, brothels, and restaurants will be particularly popular. There is no way, there are too few entertainment projects these days, and if you are not willing to spend money, you can only grab some melon seeds and chat with the neighbors.

The optimistic and enthusiastic expression of Kanto people is a characteristic of jokes. To a certain extent, it is actually forced by God.

For example, this small teahouse was renamed 'Sandwich'.

Not many people in Taoguantun knew why the restaurant owner had such a puzzling name.

On the contrary, the Japanese who were doing business in this area were thoughtful after seeing it, and then they remembered that it seemed to have the same name as a certain popular Western food.

grace!

So elegant!

In an instant, your style has gone up several levels!

In fact, Kang Muang and others who named him had no idea about the same name.

The beginning character is three, in order to worship the Three Pure Ones, most of the talismans also use the Three Pure Ones. Moreover, Zhao Sanyuan and Kang Muang both spent money to invest in the shares. This teahouse is not only Liu Mangfan's property, but also a partnership between the three of them. It’s fitting to start with three.

Ming means the sun and the moon, the balance of yin and yang, Ming means observation and insight. The way of learning lies in Ming Ming De, Ming Ming De means to reveal one's supreme virtue.

Governance is a metaphor for the three star kings, praying for blessings, increasing wealth and longevity, and preventing disasters. It can also be understood as treating diseases, treating symptoms and root causes.

Generally speaking, several people are very satisfied with the new store name and look forward to starting a new life with it.

On the wooden pillars on both sides of the store are couplets written by Kang Muang himself.

The mountains are clear, the sun and the moon shine on the yin and yang.

When I have nothing to do, I will burn incense sticks.

The first sentence is majestic and ambitious, and anyone with a bit of culture will give it a thumbs up.

However, the last sentence completely destroyed the artistic conception. At best it sounds free and uninhibited, but at worst it sounds like a fool. Not only does it fool Lianzi, but it also fools the gods. What does it mean to burn incense when you have nothing to do?

Show some respect!

Although the postscript mentioned by Zhao Sanyuan is indeed unreasonable, it does not prevent the sandwich teahouse from becoming more and more popular.

the reason is simple.

Liu Mangfan, who is slightly famous, has his own traffic. I heard that the famous "Liu Banxian" is in the court, and one silver dollar can be used to predict marriage, fortune, etc. It would be strange if it is not popular.

In addition to the tea drinking area in the hall, there are three large wooden tables placed under the carved railing screen. Kang Muang, Liu Mangfan, and Zhao Sanyuan are in charge of one stall each.

The most people favored Lao Liutai, after all, people are like the shadow of famous trees, followed by Lao Kang, who was easy-going and easy-going with a smile. There was a strong tendency to come from behind and surpass Lao Liu.

Because it’s accurate!

With his inheritance of orthodox Heluo Five Elements and Yi Zhang Jing, no matter whether it is to criticize the horoscope or read the Five Elements, weddings and funerals, pattern Feng Shui to treat diseases, etc., there is nothing he can't do, and he is extremely efficient.

Everyone who has used it says it's good.

In comparison, Zhao Sanyuan's film seems deserted and cold, with the character of a grandpa who does not care for his grandma.

It’s not that I have poor ability.

When it comes to checking things out, Zhao Sanyuan, who owns Daxiantang, has an inherent advantage.

However, he is too foul-mouthed and outspoken.

For example, a few people saw that it took a long time to wait in line for Lao Liu Laokang, so they came to Zhao Sanyuan with the mentality of giving it a try.

"Everything is not going well? Are your limbs cold? Are you peeing blood? That's normal. If you don't go home, you always knock on other people's wives' doors. After you get on the bed, you don't even help carry a bucket of water. You eat and drink from other people's food. You have to steal two oceans when you leave. If you don't pee blood, who will pee blood? The next one!" "You always lose money when doing business? Even if you drink cold water, your teeth will be stuffed? That's normal. Your man gave all his property to you before he died, so you can Honor your parents and take care of your children, what have you done? Send your parents-in-law to fend for themselves in a ravine, and leave your children with your mother's family. You disrespect your parents and don't raise your children. Who will pay if you don't pay? Oh, by the way, the guy who just urinated blood is following Are you my mistress? What a fucking perfect match, next one!"

"What? You want to be a top performer? Do you know what the three major barriers are? Do you know what the five disadvantages and three shortcomings are? Why don't you find a serious job to support yourself when you have time to see things? It's better than you have been idle in the past few years. Is it better to have food every day? You can’t even straighten your spine and you still want to get out? Come on, the next one!"

The disgraced people wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. There were many people drinking tea around. If word spread, they would be embarrassed to see anyone.

But they didn't dare to refute even half a word, because every word Zhao Sanyuan said was without any moisture, as if they had seen it from personal experience.

With the surrounding people pointing and laughing, several people left in dejection, as if rushing to reincarnate.

On the contrary, Zhao Sanyuan didn't have any tolerance, leaning on the Taishi chair and breathing lazily.

Lao Kang also worked as an accountant.

He has to be the watchman himself.

Sleep was somewhat lacking.

Hire another shift operator?

You pay for it!

I didn't know it before when I wasn't in business, but now that I'm making a living, I realize how difficult it is to run a household. You need to spend money everywhere, and I wish I could spend it in half.

Except for the tea maker, the waiter, the snack maker, and the dishwasher, we don't hire anyone else. We can save as much as possible.

Kang Muang turned to the side and reminded in a low voice, "Ahem, brother Sanyuan, you should expose others but not others. Don't be too clear about what you say. You must try to understand and empathize in order to save the lost lamb."

"Pull them down, I get angry just looking at those bastards." Zhao Sanyuan sneered: "A person can't understand what he's doing. He either wants to take shortcuts or wants to buy Ansheng. It makes me upset."

Kang Muang also knew his temper, probably because his business had just opened, otherwise he might have slapped the other guy's big mouth, just like he did with Lao Liu.

"Hey~ You can't say that. If people really behave so clearly, who would come to us for help? Then wouldn't they all become saints? We have to give them a chance and a chance to change their ways. In this way, look at me What to do, just use it as a reference.”

Then Kang Muang looked at the old lady Diao across the wooden table, with a gentle smile that made people feel like spring breeze.

"What fun is there? Hurry up and see if my future wife can die this year. If she does, how many of the three big tile-roofed houses will belong to me!"

"Okay, I'll do the calculations for you." Kang Muang spread out his left palm and quickly calculated, and the result was obtained in the time it took to fart. He said seriously: "Auntie, you will definitely not get three large tile-roofed houses. Hey! I’m not impatient, but I guarantee that in half a year you will have a two-story building with several rooms.”

Mrs. Diao was overjoyed when she heard this.

I wonder if in the past six months or so, my wife’s son has made a lot of money to build a new house?
It seems very possible!

A letter came back from HLJ two days ago. Later, my wife’s son got in touch with Lao Maozi to do business. He will definitely make money!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Diao was so happy that she took out a piece of ocean from her pocket and prepared to pay, but Kang Muang declined.

"There's no rush to collect this money. It won't be too late until you get your wish."

After Mrs. Diao left, Zhao Sanyuan said helplessly: "I wouldn't show it to her. Even if I did, it would cost her 100 yuan to relieve her anger. A two-story building? It's really an advantage for her."

Kang Muang explained in a low voice, "You can tell by looking at her horoscope. She will definitely die in half a year. On the contrary, her husband's illness will improve and recover. How can she get a few large tile-roofed houses by then? I'm talking about a two-story building. , it was a paper house burned by her relatives after her death, so we can’t accept the money.”

???

Zhao Sanyuan's forehead was full of question marks.

I never saw that Lao Kang was so scheming before.

Just when Zhao Sanyuan wanted to make a joke, a young man sat opposite, looking a little reserved.

"Master, can you help me?"

"Tell me about it specifically."

"I want to die."
